Feedback from module
The feedback is always in STRING format.
The module can generate the following feedback:
String
Description
DATE=<No>:<Value
>
Feedback of date
Note: Is transmitted as
ADDITIONAL
feedback, if in actuator <No> the DATE flag is set.
<No> - 1 … 3000 = AMX number of actuator
<Value> - Date string in format MM/DD/YY (AMX display)
Example: DATE=17:08/14/06
EIS5=<No>:<Value>
Feedback of a value in ASCII floating point display. The actuator value to be coded according to
EIS5.
Note: Is transmitted as
ADDITIONAL
feedback, if in actuator <No> the EIS5 flag is set.
<No> - 1 … 3000 = AMX number of actuator
<Value> - floating point value (string) converted according to EIS5 specification
Example: EIS5=12:20.25
ERRORM=
Error message from gateway and/or bus.
The message are only for information.
SET=<No>:<Value>
Report of a
value change
Notes: The feedback array (type LONG) is automatically updated, unchanged values are reported
as VAL = (see below).
<No> - 1 … 3000 = AMX number of actuator
<Value> - New value of actuator (raw data)
Example: SET=8:1
TIME=<No>:<Value>
Feedback of time
Note: Is transmitted as
ADDITIONAL
feedback, if in actuator <No> the time flag is set.
<No> - 1 … 3000 = AMX number of actuator
<Value> - Time string in format hh:mm:ss
Example: TIME=18:09:55:30
VAL=<No>:<Value>
Feedback of an unchanged value
(for instance after GET or POLL)
<No> - 1 … 3000 = AMX number of actuator
<Value> - Value of actuator
3.3.3
Terminal Mode
For implementation and diagnostics several monitor functions are available. The following commands can be
transmitted directly in monitor mode to the module. These commands are transmitted with SEND_COMMAND
to the virtual device.
To visualize the text outputs on the monitor it must be activated with command “
MSG ON
”, and the following
SEND_COMMAND <vdvDEV>, ‚‘DEBUGON=1‘
must be sent to the virtual device.
Capitalization is ignored during input; additional parameters (if available) are separated with a
space
(in this
documentation with “_”).
Naturally, in monitor mode also the commands of the regular command interface are available (i.e. ADD=,
SET=, etc.).
Acknowledgements/notes generated in this way serve only diagnostics und should be switched off during
runtime. Output messages are marked by the prefix “EIB”.
